So conference games are more important if played after some arbitrary date? Makes a lot of sense.

That isn't what I said.

What I did say is that you aren't special because you play conference games and P5 OOC early.

You literally said playing cupcakes later in the year is an advantage. Do I need to link your post for you? Why does that advantage outweigh the negative of playing conference games earlier?

Exactly. The Big 10 could easily adopt the same scheduling if they wanted to. No one is stopping them from doing so. In fact, maybe 10-15 years ago, I recall the Big 10 playing cupcakes in November too. And no one was complaining then.

For 1:40 because he plays for Saban. Hooker was injured 3:32 into the 4th quarter and was pulled in the 3rd in other blowout wins

Oh really? The week before the South Carolina game, vs Missouri, Hooker was still in the game with 7:54 left in the 4th quarter while Tennessee was up 52-24.

Missouri


Missouri isn't Austin Peay, halfway through the 3rd it was 28-24, and Hooker's last play it was 49-24.

Y'all going to a 9 game conference schedule soon? That happening will eliminate this criticism.


Why aren't yall getting criticism for how shitty your league has been?

Instead of playing FCS we should all just schedule B1G teams as our second to last game... same difference

3 of those teams were ranked in the top 10 this year at one point. Can't say the same for Nw, Maryland, Nebraska, Purdue, Rutgers, etc
